Does the May 30th Matchroom Show warrant it's PPV platform?

May 30th Rule Britannia PPV from Matchroom from Sky Box Office:

Kell Brook vs. Frankie Gavin
Kevin Mitchell vs. Jorge Linares
Lee Selby vs. Evgency Gradovich
Anthony Joshua vs. Kevin Johnson
John Ryder vs. Nick Blackwell
Scott Cardle vs. Craig Evans
Dave Ryan vs. John Wayne Hibbert.

Worth 19.95?

 

Yes in my opinion but there is no justification for it being the same price as Pacquiao vs Mayweather. Nathan Cleverly and Lucian Reid are on the card too

 

I think it's a far better card than the Bellew-Cleverly one.

3 interesting world title fights and the chance that big AJ might actually go some rounds. I'm saying yes.

 

Yeah. I assume it wasn't cheap to get guys like Linares and Gradovich to fly over and defend their titles though, and Brook wasn't even suppose to be fighting until July so I'm giving them a buy here.

 

Yes best card in years

 

Not sure I'd go that far but I believe 3 world title fights on one night is the first time this has happened on British soil in 15 years.

 

How many threads need to be started asking the same question??

 

This is the official one. What's your verdict? :think

 

On the thread? Or the ppv lol

 

As long as Sky/Matchroom stay in business then the answer's yes, as voted by the great British public.

The Sky PPV model's the only way that large amounts of money the likes of which were offered to Frampton are even vaguely imaginable. That's the economic reality of how boxing here is marketed at present. Just as with Premiership football, or any pro sport, cash is king. And Sky have the cash. You may not like it (I don't, haven't even got Sky) but that's how it is. Is it good for boxing? Yes and no. More exposure's great but there's always a price to pay (£19.95!).

Good card, btw.

 

:good

 

How can one get excited about big BJ going some rounds against a bum??

 

no PPV should be for the big fights not a collection of good fights.

 

this 1 always gets excited about a bj and a big round bum!

 

It's hard to say because it's a good card, if you've paid for a ticket you're the real winner but it's not worthy of paying a PPV price. But the card wouldn't be happening without PPV so, in a roundabout way it has to be PPV to happen.
